--- Quote from: Trader on November 18, 2021, 02:41:10 am ---Just for "thinking outside the box"... Dave's channel has 824k subscribers, average 41k views per day. ElectroBOOM has 4.81M subs, average 250k views per day. There are 100+ channels about electronics with 100k+ subs, I guess at least 1M people are interested in this topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/ = 335k https://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/ = 250k https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricalEngineering/ = 150k https://www.electronicspoint.com/forums/ = 54K EEVblog = 51k Maybe the OP has something to be considered, not only the (biased) eevblog members. ops, sorry, I forgot how EE people use to be. --- End quote --- I'm not sure I get what your actual point is here? :-// |

--- Quote from: james_s on November 18, 2021, 02:45:35 am ---I've certainly found it useful. More than once I've posted a thread like "Hey what is this part" after coming up empty in my search, and gotten a reply within 5 minutes pointing me to exactly what I needed. --- End quote --- Same here, countless times. Almost always without fail, someone here knows the answer or can point you in the right direction :-+ |

Ouch!” thing rather tedious and obvious. He’s a nice chappy, but I’m surprised Dave hasn’t soared into subs figures that high yet --- End quote --- The reason is the focussed nature of the content, or lack of focus in my case. Electroboom and other channels like Great Scott for example have highly polished scripted content, and, more importantly, they give you the same thing every time to watch one of their videos. If it's Great Scott you know you are going to get a high polished build video that took him a week to build and script and film, and the dialog style and explainations will be the same with the hand drawings with the voice overlay etc in a 7-10 min format. It's a very consistent content formula, and viewers generally like that. This means those channels will always get a much higher subscriber to view ratio than mine. I built my channel on a hugely eclectic mix of content and styles. I have literally dozens of different types of videos I do, of varying length and styles, almost certainly unmatched in diversity to any other channel. This mean that only a small fraction of my audience will watch every video. Some videos will do well and have mass appeal, and others will not. And because my videos are way longer, they tend to not get shared with Joe Average, so I get stuck in the world of my existing subscribers and those who find me through search. I've never scripted a video, and most take less than a day to think up, shoot, edit and upload. Spit and polish be damned. My style of lengthy tangent based off the cuff video style will never appeal to the mass audience. --- End quote --- I gravitate toward people who don’t put on a “persona”; I just want to see the real person, and I wouldn’t care if your videos were four or more hours long mate - you know your stuff, and even if you don’t, you’re still extremely interesting and funny - and at least you slip up - people who never slip up are often afraid of being genuine. I like the “unpolished” editing - people who over-edit are often hiding things, and I can’t trust that. I like Big Clive for the same reason - he’s not interested in being flashy, he’s interested in showing you the thing, and that’s ALL. I love how he only uses a phone - that’s all he needs. Far too much trash wrapped in flashy, slick wrappers from people who don’t have half the knowledge they proclaim to, on YouTube. I’d watch you even if you were at 360p and back in your garage, dear Dave, because you’re the reason I watch you, not the pixels. ♥️👋 |
